Resources For The International Medical Graduate

Dear Colleague
The process of becoming a registered doctor in Australia can be pretty arduous for local graduates. It is even more difficult if you have undertaken your training in another country.I have spent a lot of my career assisting doctors from other countries to successfully take up employment roles here in Australia. I’ve compiled this page of resources to help you.
Dr Anthony Llewellyn
Sincerely,

Area of Need Lists
Links to where Specialists (including GPs) can find Area of Need Positions advertised.
Note: in many cases the State Area of Need listings are not publicly available and you may have to look at the e-recruitment portals or go via a recruitment agent.
In reality, it is rare to find a viable Area of Need Post these days as employers prefer you apply to the college.
Specialist Demand in Australia
Overall in Australia, there are many specialties that are in oversupply. However, for many of these specialties, there remains undersupply in regional and rural areas.
The Map My Health Careers Page (produced by NSW Health) gives you a picture of the context in Australia’s most populous State.
My Health Career is a commercial site that provides a range of information on the full range of health professions across Australia.
DoctorConnect provides information to international medical graduates and their employers. It aims to help international medical graduates understand the steps required to work as a doctor in Australia, where they can work and restrictions on billing patients under Medicare.
